According to research recently published in Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association, fewer than 8% of all Americans can now be considered at low risk for heart disease.

The study was part of a program known as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),

In the survey, the investigators focused on people in the 25-to-74 age group and evaluated five different risk factors for cardiovascular disease: blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, obesity and diabetes.

Currently, the main problems are blood pressure, obesity and diabetes, all of which are relentlessly on the rise.

According to a 2008 survey by the CDC, 32% of American children are now overweight or obese! So, how can the future look any better . . .

This is a sobering report. (More info: http://circ.ahajournals.org)
